The unit is designed to provide a secure technical foundation in two areas necessary for media composition today, i.e. (1) technical understanding and facility in the recording / editing suite, and (2) professional standards in scoring for instrumental performance and recording.The unit is designed to bring each student into a state of full working knowledge of contemporary studio and instrumental composing. The studio component introduces the technical practicalities required for producing music and sound at a professional standard for radio, television, and film and the scoring component works similarly in instrumental composition and notation. Additionally, the opportunity is created for live workshop performance of specially composed scores from which the recording may be mixed into a project prescribed in the Media Composition unit.
